iriver's Mplayer ties one on

Eww. Clearly, the jaded, nicotine-stained Engadget editor in his big-boy trousers is not the target for the latest incarnation of the iriver Mplayer. While the 1GB innards remain unchanged, iriver has slathered the ¥14,800 (about $137) MP3 player in a healthy crust of Swarovski and silk to invoke the little girl trapped inside us all. Clap clap, bounce bounce, curtsy... a few more samples after the break.

Please no more, we surrender! You can bring back the 50 daily iPhone posts. We wont complain any more. Just make these devil gadgets go away!

what the hell are big-boy trousers?

Aaaargh

Imagine, if you can, that one day cheap, garish flecks of glass and the colour orange were no longer fashionable. What would you do then? How would one get one's daily fill of Gorgoroth, Mayhem and Impaled Nazarene?

[Mark @ Aug 6th 2008 6:38AM]

Oh Jesus... I can't believe they still bother to make those players.

WTF IS THAT!
The only positive thing I can think of is.. that at least it's more real than the meizu m8 but that in itself is also a shame.. double fail.

...mplayer? Wait, Disney's lawyers actually approved "mplayer"???!!! Oh, boy, this is going to be good.

Judging from the looks of your avatar characters, I believe you actually have an affinity for articles like this. LOLZ

This whole thing looks like it can be made with a few items from a Michael's craft store for like 12 bucks tops haha

[Jason @ Aug 6th 2008 3:12PM]

True. I hope this isn't indicative of the 'quality' of the item as it looks like those 'gemstones' will just start flaking off the moment you toss it in your man-purse (or purse). Cheap.

talk about covering your balls in glitter

I now have the eternal hatred of my retinas for projecting that monstrosity onto them. I'm sorry, retinas.

[Neon @ Aug 6th 2008 5:25PM]

That is quite possibly the ugliest electronics item I've ever seen. When will Disney learn that middle-aged gay men should be designing this stuff and not the intern's step-kid?

Also, Mplayer? It's like Disney's going for the one-two knockout of alienating anyone with a fashion sense or knowledge of open source media players. Granted, the latter is a small market, and the former doesn't tend to include Disney fans, but hey, I can still be flustered, right?
